I don't think it is a good idea to add additional handling to
qmail-lspawn which does the ldap lookup. qmail-lspawn is one of the only
applications in qmail that run as root and therefor I don't think it is a
good idea to put more code into it.

IMHO it would be the best to create a tool that can be used as programm
delivery in qmail-local even if we have to redo a lookup.

I also think that mail filtering is not part of the mta (more a mda, mua
thing) so filtering is something that should be done in qmail-local.
